Play treasure master

Chapter 509 Bring a bottle, enamel color!
"It's not that he doesn't trust you, and you're not a troublesome person. But you are a troublemaker." After Yang Rui finished speaking, he laughed twice.

Yu Yao couldn't help being taken aback, and sighed to himself: "Poor night on the third day of September..."

"Why are you so excited about poetry?"

"It's nothing, don't worry." Yu Yao paused, "Also, what I told you last time..."

"Why are you so interested in the southward migration of cultural relics? There are a lot of historical materials to check on this matter, and there are only a few transportation methods."

"In addition to this, didn't I say that I am also very interested in how some folk antiques were transported out of Yanjing."

Yang Rui smiled and said, "We don't know much about this. Moreover, more folk things are looted by the Japanese people."

"Well, I mean if you have any clues, don't forget to tell me."

"Your way of treasure hunting is getting wilder and wilder! I can't forget it, so let's do this first."

Yu Yao originally wanted to talk about Xie Zhihao's meeting with him, but in the end he still didn't say anything. It's still uncertain, so let's wait and see.

It's just that he didn't expect that Xie Zhihao would come earlier than Yu Yao imagined.Only one day later, they arrived in Jiangzhou.

He contacted Yu Yao, and Yu Yao booked a private room in the hotel at noon that day and arranged for a reception.

Xie Zhihao is not alone.

The one who came with him was a dark-complexioned young man who seemed to be about the same age as Yu Yao.Xie Zhihao introduced him as his newly hired assistant named Zuo Dong.

However, when Zuo Dong spoke, although his pronunciation was a bit astringent, it didn't have the taste of Guangdong and Hong Kong, so it was hard to tell where he was from.

Yu Yao smiled and asked, "Where is Assistant Zuo from?"

"My ancestral home is actually from Zhejiang Province. When I was a child, I stayed in Yanjing with my parents. Later, I went abroad to study, and then I settled in Hong Kong Island." Zuo Dong explained very naturally.

After the opening, Yu Yao first performed some routine hospitality etiquette.And Xie Zhihao didn't say why he came, and focused on eating and drinking.He was quite good at eating, but his mouth became oily after a while.

Yu Yao lit a cigarette, "Thank you boss, your business is getting bigger and bigger now!"

"It's not that you don't know that there are a lot of errands in the antique business, and sometimes it really depends on physical strength! Otherwise, I would have to be accompanied by a beautiful female assistant!"

"From what you mean, you came to the mainland and went to the valley to collect the goods?"

Xie Zhihao put down his chopsticks and slapped his thigh, "You're really right!"

When Yu Yao heard this, his heart became clearer. It turned out that he, like Fumancang and Tianhe Auction, should be one of Xie Zhihao's probing targets.

At this point, Yu Yao didn't continue to talk, and changed the topic, "Then what are you doing in Jiangzhou?"

Xie Zhihao didn't expect Yu Yao to turn a corner. He first laughed, and then lit a cigarette, "When I come to the mainland, I have to come and see you even if I take a detour! I'm different from you. Say it to me."

"It's useless for me to say, aren't you coming to the mainland?"

"If you want to talk, I will definitely procrastinate." Xie Zhihao said, his small eyes narrowed, "But this is life, if I procrastinate for two days, I won't be able to collect such a good thing!"

After finishing speaking, Xie Zhihao winked at Zuo Dong, and Zuo Dong immediately reached out and picked up the black bag next to the seat.

"I haven't said I want to open my eyes yet!" Yu Yao smiled slightly.

"It's me on the pole, please appreciate it, okay?" Xie Zhihao raised his hand and bent his four fingers, Zuo Dong got up, pulled back the chair, then opened the bag, took out a brocade box, and put it on the chair .

Xie Zhihao also got up, "Boss Yu, I don't believe you won't be tempted after listening to good things? Don't put on airs! Come and have a look! The small episode at the banquet is just to add to the fun!"

Yu Yao also got up and came to the chair, "Which thing from the valley is given such an exquisite brocade box?"

"Look!" Xie Zhihao pointed at Yu Yao and said to Zuo Dong, "What is an expert? This is an expert! Careful!"

Zuo Dongchong gave Yu Yao a thumbs up, "Boss Yu, this box was made after us, and the things have been cleaned. It was originally wrapped in newspaper and brought out in a torn net bag."

"I asked which thing was in the ravine, but you two sang together and didn't answer at all!" Yu Yao stretched out his hand and nodded them.

"The owner of the consignor refused to let it out, and I don't know how he got it. I also took a certain risk. But, you know me, risks and benefits coexist! It is a mountain village in northern Hebei. It's hard to say."

At this time, Zuo Dong took out a porcelain vase from the brocade box.

Yu Yao took a look, it turned out to be enamel color!

Yellow-ground enamel olive vase with folded branches and lotus patterns!The device is small, exquisite and beautiful.

On the bright yellow base glaze, there are lotus flowers with pink petals and black stamens, and folded branches and leaves in green, purple, and blue colors. The patterns are vivid and lifelike, and the colors are suitable in shades.

Famous utensils such as enamel, even if they are high imitations, will not deliberately make the surface layer old, because it will destroy the feeling of color, and most of them use special methods to place and accelerate the speed of surface oxidation.

Seeing that Yu Yao was just looking at it, but didn't get started, Xie Zhihao took a moment to pick it up carefully, and showed Yu Yao the bottom line, "How is it? It's really a good thing, isn't it?"

The base is a square frame blue and white four-character regular script: Emperor Kangxi.

After Yu Yao looked at it, he just nodded and still didn't make a statement.

Xie Zhihao took a look and let it go again.Only at this time did Yu Yao get his hands on it. As soon as he got his hands on it, he felt that there was no problem with the weight.

General imitations, no matter the tire, glaze, or color, will have a smaller density, so masters can feel that the hand feels lighter.

At the same time, the tentacle color material does not have an excessively raised feeling; and the glazed surface feels relatively uniform.

Yu Yao is "preconceived" about this thing, it is expected to be a top-notch imitation, Xie Zhihao is here to verify by himself, whether it can be confused with the real one.

Yu Yao put down the olive bottle, took a few steps back, lit another cigarette, and looked at it from a little distance away.

Xie Zhihao was very happy to see Yu Yao watching carefully, but he said, "Brother, you don't seem to trust my eyesight, why do you feel like you are looking at fakes?"

"When I look at anything, I first look at it as if it's not real. If I can't find the fault, then I can take it as real."

"That's right!" Xie Zhihao began to agree again.

Yu Yao finally read it, nodded his head, and then sat down on his seat again, "I said, Lao Xie, you didn't spend too much on this olive bottle, did you?"

"It doesn't matter how much you spend or how little you spend, what matters is whether you can find out what's wrong with it!"

"Kangxi enamel is the most special among the three dynasties of Qing enamel, because both the color material and the oil are all imported; it was not until the Yongzheng period that the domestic materials were successfully prepared." Yu Yao said bluntly. , but secretly surprised.
